title: Mutational events in mouse myeloma cells.
abstract: Cultured mouse myeloma cells frequently generate variants in immunoglobulin expression and structure. In this paper the authors will review the phenotypes of the variants which have been identified and discuss the mechanisms which may be responsible for the somatic instability of the immunoglobulin genes in mouse myeloma cells.
